MJ & Family - September 2007

Cast: DD (6), DS (4), DH and I

We did almost everything. Even enjoyed the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with its parades, decorations, and all. Was worth the money just to hop on the rides and not have any waits.

My kids' ages were perfect, from getting on rides to their overall excitement about being at Disney :-)

They did all the Epcot Kidscot stations; got stickers from cast members; got autographs from Disney characters; received Monorail pilot license, speed raceway license, and ferry boat collector card from Ferry Captain; saw numerous parades; got dolled up at BBB; dined at Chef Mickey's; met Belle and other princesses at Royal Akerhus (sp?) lunch; collected postcards; saw MK Fantasmic show; rode the Tower of Terror; and much more. Whew!

The crowds were way less this time of year; I'm glad we waited until school had already started. Most rides we just walked right on. Others only had a 5 min. wait. Did Fast Pass for a few of them (Soarin' at Epcot, Test Track at Epcot, and Peter Pan at MK--had a "Magical Moment" and received free Fast Passes from a cast member).

Love our Photo Pass; super easy to use; been on its Web site editing and adding borders all afternoon. My only complaints with it are there was not enough photographers stationed throughout the parks or with the characters, and you cannot upload your photos from Chef Mickey's or any character dining without either buying the photos offered or somehow obtaining that ENVT#.

Disney World really is a magical place (and so clean as my DH noted)! I'm still on a Mickey and Minnie Mouse high!
